Biden’s DHS, DOJ Tracked Foreign Nationals Visiting Elon Musk
Gee, what happened in 2022?
The Wall Street Journal reported that in 2022 and 2023, the DHS and DOJ under former President Joe Biden surveilled foreigners who visited Elon Musk after he bought Twitter.
It’s weird, though, the WSJ didn’t provide many details about the surveillance:
Several U.S. government agencies in 2022 and 2023 tracked foreign nationals coming and going to Elon Musk’s properties, according to people familiar with the matter.
The investigation included the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department. It focused on people visiting the tech billionaire, from countries in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, who might have been trying to influence him. Until last week, Musk was one of President Trump’s closest advisers.
The investigation didn’t progress to charges and its current status couldn’t be determined. Officials at several agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, had been briefed on it.
The probe, predating the current Trump administration, highlights concerns about the number of foreign nationals in Musk’s orbit. Musk runs five companies, including SpaceX, with sensitive government contracts, and has had unprecedented access to top government officials.
Instead, the WSJ seemed to justify the administration’s moves because sources within America PAC claimed its staff “became concerned about who was joining him at meetings and events.”
An official with America PAC said the organization “had to institute extensive vetting to keep foreigners out of their efforts.”
The WSJ rattled on about how Musk acquired relationships with powerful people since becoming the world’s richest man, including Vladimir Putin:
The Wall Street Journal reported in October that Musk has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022. Musk’s contacts with foreign nationals led SpaceX lawyers to advise him against seeking a higher security clearance, for fear that he might have to explain the relationships or have his clearance revoked entirely, the Journal reported.
As chief executive of SpaceX, Musk has top-secret security clearance, which gives him access to some national-security secrets. SpaceX, which Musk founded in 2002, has worked with national-security agencies since its early days.
Yeah, being in regular contact with Putin is not good.
But what else happened in 2022?
Musk bought Twitter in October 2022.
I want to link to Ed Morrissey’s Hot Air post about the news. I swear the two of us think too much alike because I came across it when trying to confirm when Musk made the big purchase.
Before Musk purchased Twitter, he became more outspoken against the government. He championed free speech, noting the shadow bans on the platform and the fact that those in charge banned people on the right but not on the left.
Musk dropped casual remarks about purchasing Twitter, even purchasing enough shares to become the largest shareholder before the purchase.
Musk reinstated many banned accounts. Then he helped drop the #TwitterFiles, exposing the Biden administration strangling social media accounts to suppress any damaging stories or thoughts towards the government, whether it be Hunter Biden or COVID.
The surveillance wasn’t about national security. It was all about protecting their butts. It was all about keeping Biden in office or making sure Trump didn’t emerge to the top again.

otherwise
put another $8 trillion on the barbie cause they are looking to make sure we hit the big bk under trump or at least a gop’er
Methinks Musk has enough info to put someone away.
Exactly. Musk knows that Trump and Bodi and the others in the Trump Administration know exactly who the Jeffrey Epstein child sexual predators are. They have the list. Trump even declared that he “publicly” recommended that all of their names be released. Note the important word is “publicly.” That means that “privately” Trump will never reveal the names, because he and many of his supporters are on that list of men who sexually abused children, just like Musk said. Trump and his supporters who sexually abused children are sick puppies. They should be tried and convicted and sentenced to life in prison. But hey, GO MAGA!!!! Let’s have a military parade with tanks, artillery, and thousands and thousands of troops goosestepping in support of Trump’s birthday.
You must be retarded to think that if there was any evidence linking Trump to Epstein’s pedo activities that it wouldn’t have been used against him already.
You could have just posted “you must be retarded” and your statement would be no less accurate than it already is.
And you’re absolutely correct. If Trump’s name was in the “Epstein files” there’s no chance that the Biden regime wouldn’t have released that info.
Trump’s DHS and DOJ are probably tracking Foreign Nationals visiting Elon Musk now more than Biden ever did. So sad.
A “conspiracy theory” made without facts in support.
Here’s another such statement: I’m sure now the “R” in your name is for “Retarded.”
I take that back. There’s plenty of evidence that my surmise is correct. You leave evidence here on a nearly daily basis.
Readers: What’s your best guess at what the letter “J” stands for?
Just
I’m not positive, but I think it ends in “off.”
Junkie.
Justa Retard is his full name.
Not sure what to make of this. Was it abuse? Perhaps. But, as the CEO of a critical supplier to the US space program, Musk enjoys the highest security clearances we have. There’s no question he knows things that only a handful of US Congressman & Senators know. It’s not surprising contacts with foreign nationals would be cataloged, something that’s made abundantly clear when you apply for and then receive a Top Secret clearance…and Musk undoubtedly has code work clearances.
Musk may not want to, but the Brandon’s lawfare may force him back into President Trump’s orbit.
Was Musk being treated differently than others with national security clearances?
“… according to people familiar with the matter”
WSJ using anonymous sources. Zero credibility.
Biden should’ve tracked foreign nationals doing business with his son and maybe he wouldn’t have needed a pardon.
Great reporting, Ms. Chastain. Thank you.
“As chief executive of SpaceX, Musk has top-secret security clearance, which gives him access to some national-security secrets.”
Let’s be more precise. It allows government agencies to feed him specific national security secrets to read if they think it benefits them.
